[Verse 1]
My [D]child arrived just the [F]other day
[G]Came to the world in the [D]usual way
But there were [D]planes to catch
and [F]bills to pay
[G]He learned to walk while I was[D] away
He was [C]talkin' 'fore I [G]knew it
And [Am]as he gr[G]ew he said,
[F]"I'm gonna [C]be like [D]you, Dad
You [F]know I'm gonna [C]be like [D]you"

[Chorus 1]
And the [D]cat's in the cradle
and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man on the moon
[D]"When you comin' home?"
"Son, I [C]don't know when
[F]We'll get toget[C]her the[D]n
You [F]know we'll have a [C]good time [D]then"

[Verse 2]
Well, my [D]son turned ten just the [F]other day
He said, [G]"Thanks for the ball, Dad
Come [D]on, let's play
Could you [D]teach me to throw?"
I [F]said, "Not today
I got a [G]lot to do"
He said, [D]"That's okay"
And [C]he, he walked a[G]way
and he [Am]smiled and he [G]said,
"You [F]know, I'm gonna [C]be like [D]him, yeah
You [F]know I'm gonna [C]be like [D]him"

[Chorus 2]
And the [D]cat's in the cradle

Well, he [D]came from college
just the [F]other day,
So [G]much like a man I just [D]had to say,
"I'm [D]proud of you
Could you [F]sit for a while?"
He [G]shook his head and he [D]said with a smile,
"What I'd [C]really like, [G]Dad,
is to [Am]borrow the [G]car keys
[F]See you lat[C]er
Can I [D]have them please?"

[Chorus 3]
And the [D]cat's in the cradle
and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man on the moon
[D]"When you comin' home?"
"Son, I [C]don't know when
[F]We'll get toget[C]her the[D]n
You [F]know we'll have a [C]good time [D]then"

[Verse 4]
I've [D]long since retired, my [F]son's moved away
[G]I called him up just the oth[D]er day
"I'd [D]like to see you, if [F]you don't mind"
He said, "I'd [G]love to, Dad,
if I could [D]find the time
You see my [C]new job's a [G]hassle
and the [Am]kids have the [G]flu,
But it's [F]sure nice [C]talkin' to [D]you, Dad
It's been [F]sure nice [C]talkin' to [D]you"
And as I [C]hung up the [G]phone
it oc[Am]curred to [G]me,
He'd [F]grown up [C]just like [D]me
My [F]boy was [C]just like [D]me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus 4]
And the [D]cat's in the cradle
and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man on the moon
[D]"When you comin' home?"
"Son, I [C]don't know when
[F]We'll get toget[C]her the[D]n
You [F]know we'll have a [C]good time [D]then"

[Chorus 5]
And the [D]cat's in the cradle
and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man on the moon
[D]"When you comin' home?"
"Son, I [C]don't know when
[F]We'll get toget[C]her the[D]n
You [F]know we'll have a [C]good time [D]then"
